I can understand this.  EasyGit is more about making git self
documenting than anything more, from what I understand.

As far as I know Pyrite is one-man work.  Why not to join efforts,
bringing those two projects together?  Both share the same language,
Python.

By the way, please take into account 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yap_(disambiguation)

Most commonly known YAP is I think Yet Another Previewer, which is
the name of the DVI viewer included on the widely used MiKTeX TeX
distribution for the Microsoft Windows platform,

YAGP, or YA(G)P, is I think free of such conotations.
